Description
Summary:	•Lack of blinding may bias surgical site infection assessment, potentially impacting reported outcomes.•Single-center design and uncontrolled confounders restrict result generalizability.•Patient-reported outcomes and quality of life measures absent, limiting study value.•Antibiotic resistance risks overlooked; crucial safety considerations unaddressed.•30-day follow-up limits long-term effect insights; delayed complications unexplored.
